I have removed all of the locals from my friends list (except for my wife, obviously, and my brother's roommate, who has nothing to do with "the scene"). I did not play favorites, or single anyone out. They're all removed.

Beautiful weather for camping at Allegany this past weekend. Spent it with family and roommates of my brother (who coordinated the event).

If anyone is planning on going to the Artvoice festival, and will be there this afternoon, please look for "Martinsville Emporium", and see if my little girl needs a potty break.

Usually I only post a journal update when something interesting happens. And since things are generally pretty monotonous, I don't post too often.

My little girl and I are in Toronto this weekend, in part to celebrate our 13th anniversary (heh, guess we should be careful about this year, then)...

Here it is, 8AM, and my little girl actually got out of bed this morning when I did... She was wide awake when my alarm went off, and ready to get the day started ( Read more... )

Went to see The Crystal Method with my brother this evening. Also in attendance was a female acquaintance (who has babysat for us before), a male friend of his, and my sister and brother-in-law. It was at the now-infamous Warehaus, where my little girl had a wee bit too much red wine ( Read more... )
